Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Domonic Dilbrandt (ranked 554 p4p, 623 weight class) and Biabas Kitjakarn (ranked 69 p4p, 75 weight class). Dilbrandt comes to the cage accompanied by The Champ is Here. Kitjakarn has chosen Dancing Drums as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
